Being interested in survival generally, I started looking at being able to survive on a desert island, ie, somewhere beautiful in the South Pacific. It has now become my dream to live on a small island somewhere, maybe in Samoa, grow Taro and Elephant ear root and Yams, and fish with a dugout canoe, no money, no worries, just me and nature. And coconuts. Anyway, in my internet searchings, I was looking at Guam, and I discovered that the use of the sling was and in some areas still is encouraged, and practised. Incidentally, I found the image at the home of this website, the slingstone with the sling. Apparently it is in the Guam museum. This is all a bit of a round-a-bout way of saying; does anyone know how widespread use of the sling was and is in the south Pacific, from Melanesia to Polynesia?
